Super Eagles midfielder is set to become the fourth player to reach 100 appearances for Nigeria’s national football team.
The milestone was highlighted in a SportyBet Nigeria post shared on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, where Iwobi addressed the occasion of his upcoming 100th cap. The 29-year-old Fulham player reflected on his international career with the Super Eagles ahead of the achievement.
In remarks quoted by SportyBet, Iwobi said he does not consider himself a legend but sees himself simply as a Super Eagles player. He stated it feels great to be reaching 100 caps and noted he has enjoyed his time with the national team. Iwobi added that, on a lighter note, he hopes to add another 100 caps to his record.
A cap represents one appearance for a national team in an international match. Reaching 100 places Iwobi in a select group of Nigerian players to hit the century mark.
The midfielder made his senior debut for Nigeria in 2015 after representing England at youth level. His 100th appearance will extend a nine-year international career that includes Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and World Cup qualifiers.
